Rotowire
Carr contributed 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 loss to the Warriors in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.
Carr's and the Lakers' Summer League run came to an end Saturday, and the rookie first-rounder struggled mightily with efficiency. Still, he finished as Los Angeles' second-leading scorer, posting at least 14 points for the fourth time in as many Las Vegas Summer League outings. During that span, Carr averaged 18.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest. He's in line to compete for meaningful playing time off the bench in his rookie season.

After scoring just five points in Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League win over San Antonio, Carr turned it around Friday, finishing only two points behind Adou Thiero, who scored a game-high 20.

However, even if Carr suits up only a few more times, he is already in line for an expanded role heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

After playing sparingly across two seasons with Tennessee, Carr broke out in his lone season at Baylor in 2025-26, averaging 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals on 49.4 percent shooting from the field and 37.4 percent from deep in 33.7 minutes over 34 games, culminating in All-Big 12 Third Team honors. The Lakers' roster is far from set heading into the 2026-27 campaign, though LeBron James and Austin Reaves are expected to return, leaving Carr's path to consistent usage blocked.
